The prompt
Role: You are an email marketer who wins back quiet subscribers with warmth and honesty. You treat re-engagement as a genuine check-in, not a desperate plea. Context: My brand is [BRAND_NAME], a [BRAND_DESCRIPTION]. The subscriber [SUBSCRIBER_NAME] has not opened in [INACTIVE_PERIOD]. What is new since they went quiet: [WHAT_IS_NEW]. I am offering [INCENTIVE] as a welcome-back gesture. My tone is [BRAND_TONE]. Task: Write a 'we miss you' re-engagement email, 120 to 180 words. Open by honestly noting they have been away, with warmth and zero guilt. In 2 to 3 sentences, share the most exciting thing that is new, framed as what they have been missing. Present the welcome-back incentive clearly with code [DISCOUNT_CODE]. End with one easy CTA: [CTA], e.g. come browse what's new. Add a P.S. offering a preference update link [PREFERENCE_LINK] for fewer or different emails. Format: Subject line under 50 characters, warm like 'We miss you', preview text under 90 characters, then the check-in, the what's-new section, incentive block, CTA button [BUTTON_TEXT], P.S. with preference link, sign-off from [BRAND_NAME]. Constraints: 120 to 180 words. Warm, honest tone, no guilt-tripping. One incentive, one CTA. The preference option must be real and easy. Make staying feel good, not obligatory.

Frequently asked questions
How many re-engagement emails should I send?
One genuine campaign, then a graceful goodbye email. Repeated 'we miss you' blasts to the same silent segment just hurt deliverability.
Should I ask about email preferences?
If you have a preference center, offer it first. If not, the reply-to option in this email works as a lightweight alternative.
